**Aliens** have invaded the Kata-Martian moon. As an elite agent of the Kata-Martian defense force, you have been dispatched to terminate the aliens. Your mission is to take out the Alien leader. Use your powers at a Kata-Martian to grow in size by rolling over your foes and the debris they drop. Be wary! You must be larger than your enemy before you can absorb them. If you take damage, you will shrink in size. Kata-Martians are unstable by nature so the debris that you have stuck to you will **EXPIRE** over time. Make sure you keep rolling over your enemies to keep up the momentum. Use your Kata-Martian Defense Force weapons to weaken your enemies. **CRAFT** new weapons by rolling over your enemies. Once you hit a sufficient size, your enemies will **FUSE** into a new weapon.

Nice game. I'd say it needs a tutorial or something to show the player what is going on/what's the goal, but other than that, I've played and I won. Good game
I had a tonne of fun with this game! Getting bigger realising I could roll over enemies was really exciting. Unlocking more of the map and putting the bigger battles into different perspectives worked as a great mechanic. I definitely see a lot of potential here for a larger game!
I really enjoyed this short but fun game. The graphics are well done for the most part and the mechanics are interesting. My only issue may be the lack of variety when upgrading. But, I think that may be ambitious for a game jam, well done!
Thank you for the kind comments! We wanted to add more variety but ran out of time :)
It's so much fun just rolling over stuff :D
Also the visuals look great!
Thank you for the kind comments! We’re glad you had fun :)
I liked how the stuff you pick up sticks to the ball. The voxel art looks cool. My only concern is the same as Viston, it takes too long to upgrade, otherwise I would have liked to see the full content of your game.
Thanks! As for the upgrade time, did you try running over the enemies after the first upgrade? I thought we balanced it so it wouldn't take too long, but maybe we didn't make it easy enough to get out of the starting area.
Nice different take on Katamari games. My only concern is that it takes quite a while to ramp up to the next upgrade.
